Blah... is all I can say. It is only 11:36 am and I am feeling quite beat... Very little sleep last night was NOT how I intended to start my fast... Went in to work for a few hours and feel like I have worked a 16 hour day and I was only there for 3.5 hours. However... Here is my day so far and will edit along the way to keep it all in one daily post.. Other than occasional random thoughts..
Let me also say that I dilute all my juice to make 16 ounces from each recipe. If it produces more then I leave it undiluted. I just stay consistent with 16 ounces as my meal for ease of calculations.. I am not calculating calories at this point since I just don't think that is necessary. I might rethink it later...
6:00am : The alarm clock sounded like a freight train... Up and make coffee... Then completely forget that I can't have that... So I reach for my cup and heat up water to mix with my lemon juice... 8 ounces of divine citrus water. Mouth feels fresh before my brushing.. I find that 1 ounce of juice is plenty mixed with 7 ounces of water
6:15am : Finds me again reaching for the coffee.. sigh.. I am desperate for a cup.. This is a morning habit that I absolutely love. Instead I grab my breakfast juice from the fridge and put it in the freezer so it will be super cold when I am ready for it.
7:00am : I retrieve my juice from the freezer and it tastes so green, fresh and completely quenches my hunger. 16 ounces of diluted "cucumber cool" juice (recipe is below).
7:30am : I clock in to work. 18 ounces of water in hand I am ready for the morning.
8:00 : I am refilling my water bottle. Apparently I was really thirsty.. Plain water isn't all that nice. Going to have to juice some fruit so I can have a little flavor.
11:08am : Leaving work for the day. I am starving.. Time to go home and get some juice in my belly. Another 18 ounces of water has been consumed..
11:49am : Making my lunch juice.
12:28pm : Lunch time. 16 ounces of "Lawn Clippings" juice (recipe below). It has good flavor if you like parsley.. Not one of my favorites so next time I make this I will lighten up on the parsley to maybe a half of a handful.
1:25pm : I am soooo hungry... My tummy is growling like crazy. I think I need to take a hot shower. I am trying to stay focused on the goal.
3:31pm : Time for another juice I think. 16 ounces of "Apple Bliss" juice (recipe below). I made this one earlier today.
4:32pm : another 8 ounces of water consumed.. I had a slight rumbly in the tumbly so I calmed the beast with the faithful plain tasting water I love so much (sarcastic tone).
6:11pm : Had to snack on a 6 ounce glass of juice. I made up a quick tomato and celery juice. No recipe needed for this one.. I am having a very hard time focusing.. I think due to lack of sleep.
8:20pm : ending my day with one last 12 ounce glass juice.. Straight orange to give me a boost for a night of movies..
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!
